[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/64s: remove PROT_SAO support

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Sun Jun 7 22:02:08 AEST 2020


ISA v3.1 does not support the SAO storage control attribute required to
implement PROT_SAO. PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software
(Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought
to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems.

We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because
live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible
if SAO is in use.
